Knightley, 25, was promoting a movie in Rome last week when thieves forced open a door to the $2 million Hyde Park home she shares with her brother, swiped her laptops and rummaged through her personal stuff, per Britain's Sun.

No immediate comment from actress, who has yet to return to her native U.K.

The tab reports that burglars may try to sell private pictures and contents kept on the computers.

Without naming names, Scotland Yard confirmed that officers are "investigating a residential burglary at the flat" that occurred on Oct. 26 and that a forensic team is on the case.
